While the staff is friendly and professional, the facilities haven't been updated in decades and it clearly shows, and the service/amenities are below average for the prices that they charge. The rooms are expensive but problem-ridden. I came in a large family group and 2 out of the 4 rooms we were given had air conditioning problems. The furniture and decor in the rooms was what you would expect in an average hotel anywhere in the US, and the bathrooms were nothing special. Would expect much more from a resort like this. The food was priced as if you were eating something special, but nothing there seemed particularly special or good to me. The lazy river and mini golf are ok and could use a significant upgrading to be on par with newer resorts - same goes for many of the other facilities on site.
This place advertises that 26 Presidents have stayed at the Homestead, and I believe that really is its only claim to fame at this point. Everything else is a relic of its past glory. I think the only real draw to this place is telling your friends you stayed as this "fancy" place with lots of history. Would recommend spending your money elsewhere.
